Here's how it would work. Small contributions would receive public matching funds, at a ratio of 6-to Participating candidates would agree to curb the size of contributions they receive.

They could now fund their races by amassing small contributions, rather than those from big donors and special interests. This shift could transform politics and policymaking. Voters long have seethed over big money's role. But the US Supreme Court has made matters far worse. A big donor system tilts policymaking.

Will the Left Go Too Far?

Public financing has long been understood to offer a better way to fund campaigns. The system worked well enough for several decades. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W.

The issue of campaign finance receded. Sure, big money mattered, but what could anyone do about it?

That notion was exploded in the election. Forty or so now serve in the freshman class, part of the most diverse Congress in history. This new version of reform reflects the realities of today's digital politics. A small donor system doesn't try to end all private money in politics, a futile goal sought by earlier plans. The federal proposal is based on a successful approach used in New York City for three decades.

The vast majority of candidates from both parties participate. It's led to a far more diverse set of officeholders and has helped ensure that several candidates compete for each seat with enough funds. Some smaller incidents notwithstanding, compared with recent decades, New York politicians are seldom brought down by campaign finance-related scandals or prosecutions. Today the loudest attacks come from Republicans. In and , the average Senate campaign spent 43 percent of its budget on ads, he told me, and the average House campaign spent 33 percent.

Presidential races spend an even bigger chunk of their budgets on advertising. Money is certainly strongly associated with political success. In fact, Bonica said, those gains from spending likely translate to less of an advantage today, in a time period where voters are more stridently partisan.

There are probably fewer and fewer people who are going to vote a split ticket because they liked your ad. Instead, he and Lau agreed, the strong raw association between raising the most cash and winning probably has more to do with big donors who can tell based on polls or knowledge of the district or just gut-feeling woo-woo magic that one candidate is more likely to win — and then they give that person all their money.

Driven by fears that attack ads might undermine democracy by reducing voter turnout, researchers have been looking at the impacts of negative advertising since the s. And, beginning around the mids, they began making serious progress on understanding how ads actually affect whether people vote and who they vote for. Advertising did produce a pro-Perry response in the markets that received the treatment.

But that bump fizzled fast. Within a week after ads stopped running, it was like no one had ever seen them.

All newsletters. Also, partisan politics are just really powerful: In , about 7 in 10 voters identified as either a Democrat or Republican, according to exit polls ; 89 percent of Democrats voted for Clinton and 90 percent of Republicans voted for Trump. So the ad run by your would-be congressperson matters less than the overall, national sense that this year is really going to swing for one party or another. Across the country that same year, members of Congress were elected in races where they spent hundreds of thousands, even millions, of dollars — and their opponents reported no spending at all.

Instead, challengers likely chose to not invest much money because they already knew they would lose. But in , Bonica published a study that found, unlike in the general election, early fundraising strongly predicted who would win primary races. That matches up with other research suggesting that advertising can have a serious effect on how people vote if the candidate buying the ads is not already well-known and if the election at hand is less predetermined along partisan lines.

Basically, said Darrell West, vice president and director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, advertising is useful for making voters aware that a candidate or an issue exists at all. But a congressperson running in a close race, with no incumbent — or someone running for small-potatoes local offices that voters often just skip on the ballot — is probably getting a lot more bang for their buck.

Another example of where money might matter: Determining who is capable of running for elected office to begin with. Ongoing research from Alexander Fouirnaies, professor of public policy at the University of Chicago, suggests that, as it becomes normal for campaigns to spend higher and higher amounts, fewer people run and more of those who do are independently wealthy. In other words, the arms race of unnecessary campaign spending could help to enshrine power among the well-known and privileged.
